      Hi, do you have any back (blue) face in your model by chance? Check it by pressing the monochrome button in SU.

        oh i checked and i think my sketchup model is right. Seems that i still cannot make it as the orientation is still a mess.... 😞

              Well you have some back faces in the model but it seems not on the floor. Could you share just the model of the floor (with textures) so we can have a look?

                it seems rather a UV issue, try applying cubic mapping in kerkythea

                  Hi, thank you for suggesting me solutions πŸ˜„ I have attached my sketchup file with this message. Thank you very much for your effort.

                  Besides, i have changed my tile material to cubic in kerkythea, however, the result is the same. see the image i attached.

                    You have applied the material to the group and not the face, explode and regroup, it will work.

                    http://www.solos-art.com

                    If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                      I'm not able to reproduce the issue, this is a quick test I made and it seems ok

                      but as Solo said you've applied the material on the group (that usually is not a problem) and also on the backface of the tiles, try to clean the scene

                        Hi auchifai, some suggestion:
                        -always purge the models in SU;
                        -never apply materials directly on groups/components: open them and then apply the material on single faces;
                        -never have back faces pointing outward;
                        -don't put materials on back faces;
                        -what's the point in having the floor subdivided if you apply uniformly on the whole floor a tileable texture like that? I would go with slight different orientation of the texture for each tile or with a good texture map of tiles applied on the whole floor not subdivided (KT doesn't render lines);
                        -it seems that you have set "clay render", "photomatched" etc. on "yes" in the SU2KT exporter. I would let the settings that come with the installation.

                        Hope this helps a bit. πŸ˜„
                        P.S. Anyway as already said by others the model looks fine once exported in KT.

                          Hi everyone, I can make it now... Thank you for all your advice. I think my problem is that i should not export the CLAY from sketchup to kerkythea, and i have adjust the sketchup model that now no back faces were shown....

                          Thank you very much! Now i can go on designing my new home. πŸ˜„
